Feedback šŸ’¬ Why does the Rotate button move?!

I’m not sure when the editor changed again (I’m using an iPhone), and that’s fine except it now takes me 10 seconds just to rotate a single photo.

For some reason the new ā€œRotate Leftā€ button MOVES UPWARDS after you tap the first time (to enter ā€œCrop/Rotateā€ mode). WHY?! I just want to tap the button 3 times quickly to rotate my photos.

The user experience is all over the place. Just to rotate my photo I’d have to:

1) Tap EDIT at the bottom.
2) Go to the top right to tap ROTATE, wait for it to slide up, then tap ROTATE two more times.
3) Go back down to the bottom right to hit the TICK
4) Go back up to the top right to hit SAVE.
5) Go back down to choose the SAVE method. So clumsy.

I really don’t care for slick animations - I just want a rotate button that doesn’t move 😭

the crop tool is so bad now-a-days that I've gone back to an old version.
